Was ist eine gute Grafik?

Excellence in statistical graphics consists of complex ideas communicated with clarity, precision, and efficiency. (Tufte & Graves-Morris, 1983)

  • show the data
  • induce the viewer to think about the substance rather than about methodology, graphic design, the technology of graphic production, or something else
  • avoid distorting what the data have to say
  • present many numbers in a small space
  • make large datasets coherent
  • encourage the eye to compare different pieces of data
  • Reveal the data at several levels of detail, from a broad overview to the fine structure
  • serve a reasonably clear purpose: description, exploration, tabulation, or decoration
  • be closely integrated with the statistical and verbal descriptions of a data set
